Hi All, I'm an aspiring colorist trying to learn how to grade professionally in Davinci Resolve. I have two questions that confuses me and I hope that I could have some insight from the community. 1. There are two terms that was constantly mentioned in articles and tutorials, display referred and scene referred. I work in Davinci YRGB which is a display referred color managment system. However, I'm grading everything prior to the color space transform which is a scene referred color grade workflow. Therefore, am I working in display, scene referred, or both? 2. I was wondering what preferences does everyone have for timeline colorspace. I currently do a CST to transform my log footages into DWG and set my timeline color space to DWG. From what I understand, timeline color space affects how the coloring tools behave. Are there any benefits coloring in the camera color space (Arri LogC) instead of DWG. Thanks for your insight and time to reply this post. Cheers,

Hi, I'm just starting to build my portfolio as a colorist and found this course very helpful. I have two questions and was wondering if you can provide some clarification. 1. All of my projects currently are outputting to SDR. Is there a benefit of working using HDR tools? If HDR tools behaves more naturally because it is color space aware, is it more "better" than primaries? Would you still use primaries to adjust the exposure/ contrast on a clip level. 2. I really enjoyed lesson 5 and 7 about creating the silver bleach bypass and the film emulation look. As a novice, I've been told to always keep blacks within the legal range 0 and looking at the scope is a good way to do that. I can't help but noticed that altough you've lifted the blacks when creating the look using the Arri test image, there are still some signals that are sitting below 0. Is that a problem?
